When configuring apache, I often have to copy-paste some parts. In order to avoid this I needed the ability to define and use macros in runtime configuration files. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Sure. I wrote a module which handles this and which could be integrated in core apache, if approved. Benefit: everybody would have the feature. Moreover the whole world could maintain it instead of me alone. That would be cool;-) The module is available at: http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/mod_macro/ I can make changes if required and then give the code away to the apache group. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
